Four Monsters for May

I've got some new Monsters to show off.

This month's flavors are Ultra Blue Hawaiian, Ultra Violet, Ultra Wild Passion, and Strawberry Lemonade.  The Strawberry Lemonade can is a "Happy Birthday, America!" can, celebrating 250 years of the America being a country.

Before I get flooded with emails about "You've already featured the Ultra Blue Hawaiian can" (haha), this can is a variation.  The original one had a silver top, this one has a blue top.  As a collector you have to pay attention to the details.  Watch for different icons, different word placement, differences in the tops, etc.  Now go out there and find some variations!

Four Olipops

The prebiotic soda trend continues.  And this week I have four new Olipops to show.  

Starting with a 7.5oz Crisp Apple.  Yum.

Followed by Peaches & Cream, Shirley Temple, and Watermelon Lime.

That's it.  Good for the guts, good for my collection.

The Class of 2026

Yesterday my daughter graduated with her Masters degree.  That was the biggest success of the day.  But there was a smaller success too... I got more cans.

Friends and family know I collect cans.  So when many of us gather it's not uncommon to be given cans they've saved for me.  Yesterday was no exception.  The more people, the more cans.

I got my first Martinelli's juice can, along with two more Izze's, a La Croix Lemon, a small Dr Pepper can, and another Bubbl'r flavor, Watermelon Lime Smash'r.

The haul also included four new Reign flavors: Orange Dreamsicle, Reignbow Sherbet (I see what they did there), Watermelon Sour Gummy, and White Gummy Bear.  And a new brand for me, El Jefe Energy Drink.  Those flavors are Pure White and Zuma Watermelon.  And to round it off, a Goya can of coconut water.  

Quite the diversity.  Now they'll be placed in a box to enjoy post-college life with many other cans from all walks of life.

Plenty of Poppi's

I may have mentioned my daughter likes Poppi.

These are a few more cans from her that have collected in my pantry in the last few months.  The flavors are Doc Pop (their version on Dr Pepper), Cranberry Fizz, Alpine Blast (their version of Mountain Dew), Punch Pop, Ginger Fizz, Shirley Temple, Lemon Lime, Orange, Ginger Lime, and Wild Berry.

Believe it or not, there are even more flavors out there she hasn't tried yet.  But as soon as she does I'll be rewarded with more cans for my collection.
